Probotector for the sega Genesis.
I think it was called Contra Hardcorps out side of europe.
Three lives, no health and dead if you get hit once.
The only way to beat the game is to memorise every single bosses moves. Took me five years finish.

Devil May Cry 3 on Dante Must Die mode, Devil May Cry 4 on Hell or Hell mode, good old classic Megaman Legends on PS1, Resistance 2 on Superhuman mode, Gears of War 1 & 2 on Insane mode, Ace Combat 6 on ACE of ACES mode, Naruto : Ultimate Ninja : STORM 2 on Very Hard (its fcking impossible!), inFamous on Hard, Prototype on Hard, Killzone 2, Resistance: Fall of Man (yes, the first one. I died countless times, even on Easy), Grandia series, & Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2, & Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Many more to list, but this is more than enough considering I'm on my PS3...
